FrostBite kits

Ready-made ice bundles tuned to the way you fish

Each FrostBite kit is a small map: shelter, auger, storage and tackle laid out so you can just follow the order in the box.

Start with a solo lane, grow into a weekend tent or jump straight to a sled that carries the whole crew.

Bundle tracks

Slide between three bundle styles in one glance

Each track balances bulk, warmth and hole-hopping speed a little differently.

Packing matrix

Match a simple kit to how you travel to the ice

Walk, drive or ride — each lane has a kit that respects your space.

Travel Suggested kit Why it fits
On foot Ultra-light solo layout with soft backpack rod tube. Stays under one shoulder and clears narrow paths.
Small car Weekend tent kit with folding sled and flat crates. Packs into a short trunk without fighting seat backs.
Truck or van Family sled cluster with wide sled and tall seat-boxes. Uses floor space, not just trunk height, for smooth loading.
Wall-mounted board with different ice fishing kit checklists pinned in rows
Hang your kit matrix where you grab keys so ice trips stay simple.

Solo starter

See exactly what lives inside one light kit

We keep the solo starter tight: one shelter, one drill, one seat and one small box laid out in a simple line.

The full solo lane: everything visible at a glance before you leave home.

One pull direction

All parts stack into a single line on the floor so you know what to grab first.

Seat-box spine

Storage box doubles as a seat and keeps tackle off wet ice.

Soft bundle straps

Shelter and drill wrap around the box so the kit carries like one heavy backpack.

Weather lanes

Three kit bands for mild, deep and bitter cold

Swap only a few key pieces as temperatures drop instead of rebuilding your kit from zero.

0 °C to −8 °C Mild ice

Light tent skin, hand auger and one midweight jacket you can still wear in town.

Ice fishing kit laid out for mild weather with light clothing
−8 °C to −18 °C Deep freeze

Insulated shelter, powered drill and bibs that feel thick but still bend at the knees.

Deeper freeze kit with insulated shelter, powered auger and heavy clothing
Below −18 °C Bitter runs

Storm anchors, double boots and handwarmers layered into every pocket of the kit.

Augers & power

Match drills and batteries to the bundle, not the other way round

Each kit notes which augers fit, how many holes you can cut and where to stash spares.

Hand auger lane

Classic spiral drills with folding handles and blades sized for lighter combos.

Battery head lane

Swappable battery heads that click onto the same flighting, packed in padded sleeves.

Pre-rigged rods

Let each kit leave home with lines already tied

Every FrostBite kit suggests how many rods to rig and which lures to park on each one, so you are never tying in the wind.

Search rod

One slightly heavier combo with a bright spoon for quick hole-hopping passes.

Stay rod

Finesse jig on a soft tip that simply stays down while you drill the next hole.

Spare rod

Backup combo with plain mono for when ice or fish chew up the main line.

Family kits keep rods short, seats padded and hot drinks within arm’s reach.

Family modes

Nudge any kit toward solo, duo or full crew

Start light and add only a few pieces when kids or friends join the ice day.

Solo calm

One seat-box, one heater and one rod rack that fits beside your boots.

Friend lane

Add a second seat-box and extra rod so both of you face the same pair of holes.

Family circle

Low chairs, wide sled and soft floor tiles that welcome short legs and small mittens.

Add-ons

Small pieces that quietly upgrade any bundle

You do not need a new kit every season — a few smart extras can stretch what you already own.

Rod sleeves

Color bands match each kit lane so you grab the right combo in the dark.

Small parts box with hooks, swivels and snaps sorted by size

Tiny parts box

Micro box for snaps, swivels and spare hooks that drops into any crate.

One roll-top dry bag keeps spare gloves and socks from turning to ice bricks.

Color codes

Read each kit by its stripe before you read the label

One glance tells you if the bundle is solo light, weekend ready or full crew.

Solo blue

Slim stripe, smallest crate, lightest drill.

Weekend teal

Medium sled, tent icon and double rod mark.

Family glow

Wide sled bar and three small seat symbols.

Care lane

Short reminders that keep each bundle fresh

After ice

Open crates, hang bibs and crack lids for one night.

Mid-season

Sharpen blades and swap line on the busiest rod.

Off-season

Move hooks to rust-safe times and mark low batteries.

Paper helpers

Cold-safe packing

Boxes that can sit in a cold hallway without sagging

We pack kits so the sled, crates and rods feel calm the moment you open the flaps.

Layered inside

Heavier pieces ride low, soft gear rides on top.

Dry card on top

Packing map is the first thing you see after cutting tape.

Cold-friendly tape

Seals stay shut in freezing air but still cut clean.

Day layouts

Three simple ways to drop a kit on the ice

We sketch how each bundle might land on real snow and blue ice.

Quick morning line

One sled, three holes, boxes behind your boots.

Simple ice layout with one sled and a straight line of holes

Long-day spread

Tent in the center, two roaming holes and a calm gear zone.

Kit support

Quick help from people who actually drill holes

Show us your current gear and we map it into one of our kit lanes.

Message lane

Send a quick photo of your gear pile for a simple kit match.

Short call

Ten minutes to walk through how you usually fish on ice.

Follow-up note

We send a clear list of what to add or remove.

Custom lane

Turn your random gear into one clear FrostBite layout

If you already own half the kit, we help you trim and fill the gaps instead of starting over.

1. Quick list

Jot down rods, shelters and drills you already have.

2. Simple sketch

Mark how far you walk and how long you stay out.

3. Kit map back

We return a clean kit map with just a few missing pieces.
